I’ve got a couple of bucks and even I can’t quite figure it out as of yet.
Maybe if I win the lottery,.........
When I do, I’ll get back to you and you can rest easy then.
Until then,..... talk amongst yourselves.
You’re welcome.

Not only has this guy possibly figured out the universe, but he has invented a new language, because I didn’t understand a damn thing any of those people were talking about in that article.

That E8 pattern is totally tubular. Dude’s radical, yet simple TOE could spark a gnarly paradigm shift.

This is BS. You don’t find the answer to the universe in some obscure mathematical pastime.

It will be interesting to see where this goes. It goes way over my head, unfortunately. I can't picture 8 dimensions in my mind, vectors, 57?
I read through it anyway. The first thing I thought of when I saw the colorful diagram was a fractal. Now I have generated a lot of fractals, have a couple 100 or more in my files somewhere, and while they may contain what appears to be some symmetrical object, the entire fractal images I've generated seem to be assymetrical, infinite spirals are one characteristic but not the only one.
E. Michael Jones suggested in an article several years ago that God could have created the universe in fractals. So if Lisi is correct, that shoots that theory. The former does not presume to have advanced scientific knowledge.
I wish I could understand this, the same thing happened when I tackled Hawkins' "History of Time", just too advanced for me, even though it wasn't a very long book.

My own theory is that there was no big bang, but rather the universe is simply an oscillating sphere. If you’re *really* fast then once every couple of trillion years you can wave quickly at everyone as they pass by, moving in the opposite direction.

Lisi's breakthrough came when he noticed that some of the equations describing E8's structure matched his own. "My brain exploded with the implications and the beauty of the thing," he tells New Scientist. "I thought: 'Holy crap, that's it!'" This reminds me of how Andrew Wiles solved Fermat's enigma (an+bn=cn where n is not = to 2). He noticed that the work being done on modular forms and elliptic equations was similar to his own work on Fermat.
